Oktoberfest in Munich: Lederhosen, Steins and a 10th Birthday to Remember
We recorded this episode after visiting Oktoberfest in Munich at different points in our lives. We talk about what it was like going in our 20s, how the festival feels with kids and why Oktoberfest is more family friendly than most people expect. It is a simple, honest breakdown of the tents, the food, the outfits and the parts of the festival that surprised us.
Episode Summary
Oktoberfest is loud, crowded and fun, but it also has a calmer side that many people miss. In this episode we talk about the classic tents, the beer, the pretzels, the rides and the traditional outfits. We also share what it was like celebrating a 10th birthday at the festival, how we planned the day and the small details that made the experience easy with kids.
We cover the quieter Oide Wiesn area, what to expect inside the tents, how seating works and the simple things that help make the day smoother. It is a straightforward guide for anyone planning a first visit or returning and wanting to see more than the main beer halls.
